That's actually the point. The word is meant to deride any art other than what the abstract fags are doing now and were doing when the word came into use.

>kitsch: a figure or figures realistic or stylized, a landscape with or without architecture, machines or creatures real or imagined

>not kitsch: a high resolution photograph of a man's anus printed on a canvas that's over four feet tall and wide or a big spiral on a canvas that could only be created with decades of experience training all day every day under a living master (LOL)

>all these pedantic pseudo-intellectual cargo cultists running damage control for a fucking orange rectangle

I hate to break it to you, but just because you're still paying $750 out of pocket a month to SAIC or some similar "institution" eight years after your graduation doesn't make you capable of some kind of supernatural insight that turns a fucking orange rectangle into a master craft or sublime expression.

The "history" of these pieces, the stories of the life-and-times of the artists that made them is all irrelevant narrative drivel no different from the celebrity worship, gossip-oriented television shows that lonely and obese middle-aged women watch with their arthritic cats. These narratives-and every last individual anecdote they contain-are completely immaterial to the fact that you are literally looking at a fucking orange rectangle. You're looking at it and you're pretending to be astounded by its "nuance" because you were weak enough to be pressured to do so, very often by the same people that have knowingly, intentionally subjected you to a lifetime of financial malaise or perhaps nearly as bad, wasted your fucking time with this embarrassing bullshit. Just fucking stop it.
